Carolus Ludovicus

  • Minor
  • First seen · Book 2 · Ch. 11

A name glimpsed through the playful machinery of language, Carolus Ludovicus feels more like a curious echo than a person met face to face. Its formal, Latin cadence invites the reader to listen for the hidden wordplay.

Carolus Ludovicus appears as the Latin form associated with Charles Lutwidge, the author’s name. It is part of the linguistic play behind the pen name Lewis Carroll, not a character who acts within the story. Its presence is a small reflection of the book’s delight in names, reversals, and verbal transformation.
